How to Link Vanilla Gift Card to PayPal
Linking a Vanilla gift card to your PayPal account is a convenient way to add funds to your PayPal balance and make purchases online. Whether you have a physical gift card or a digital one, the process is straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to link your Vanilla gift card to PayPal.
Step 1: Log in to Your PayPal Account
The first step is to log in to your PayPal account. Go to the PayPal website and enter your email address and password. If you don’t have an account, you can sign up for one by visiting the PayPal website and following the on-screen instructions.
Step 2: Go to the PayPal Wallet
Once you are logged in, click on the “Wallet” tab at the top of the page. This will take you to a page where you can manage your linked bank accounts, credit cards, and gift cards.
Step 3: Add a New Card
On the Wallet page, you will see an option to “Add a new card.” Click on this button and select “Gift Card” from the dropdown menu. This will allow you to enter the details of your Vanilla gift card.
Step 4: Enter Vanilla Gift Card Details
Enter the 16-digit gift card number, the 4-digit expiration date, and the CVV code (the three-digit number on the back of the card) into the respective fields. If you have a digital gift card, you will need to enter the card number and PIN instead.
Step 5: Verify the Card
After entering the details, PayPal will verify the card by making a small temporary charge to the card. This charge will typically be between $1 and $2 and will be refunded to your card within a few days. Once the verification is complete, you will see a confirmation message on the screen.
Step 6: Use Your Vanilla Gift Card on PayPal
Once your Vanilla gift card is linked to your PayPal account, you can use it to make purchases online. Simply select your gift card as the payment method when checking out on a supported website. The funds will be deducted from your gift card balance, and any remaining balance will remain on your PayPal account.
Remember to check the terms and conditions of your Vanilla gift card for any restrictions or limitations on its use with PayPal.
By following these simple steps, you can easily link your Vanilla gift card to PayPal and enjoy the convenience of using your gift card balance for online purchases.
